    Default eBay Gremlin UPDATE!

    Part of our weekly feature column line-up, the mysterious and dangerous "eBay Gremlin" presents his first in a series of investigative and devilish cases.

    This column will focus on giving headaches to eBayers who give us headaches. If only there were more eBay Gremlins to go around

    My intro won't do it justice. Go check it out HERE!

    Heh... great story, that is. This shows why I have a "crotchety English teacher" personality. Whoever this gremlin is, s/he deserves my congraturation!

    Just a quick note: the title of the page is "invading spaces."

    It was pretty entertaining, but I kinda thought it'd be more "out there".

    Funny stuff, but it is incredibly like an eBay version of "Ring Sir", a spoof phone computer shop Q&A that used to be published over here in the UK...

    Ahh.. this is like the Ebay forum taken to the next level.. Great stuff!

    This Ebay prankster should go after those "sealed" Genesis sports titles I always see up.

    'tis true!

    Gotta love the style of this post. Similar to what I've seen many times on many sites, but the classic gaming scenario makes it all click :)

    Ok, maybe I'm too old to get the joke. Harassing innocent people on ebay who are just trying to sell stuff, is funny? I guess I just don't get it. Just seems mean to me.

    Ah well, best I stick to playing video games and reading books....

    Flame away.

    Admittedly, I felt the same way with this one. I think it might be more appropriate if the target was, oh say, someone selling bootleg Dreamcast discs or another "non-legit" item. This poor sap just seems to be selling some 2600 consoles. What's the real problem?

    Either way, to each their own, and just because I wasn't entertained doesn't mean that anyone else shouldn't enjoy it. Just didn't want Ben to feel all alone in his personal opinion. Carry on!

    I'm going to have to agree with this as well. Sure her feedback is absolutely horrid, but I don't think that gives anyone the right to harass her. Especially given the fact that she did nothing to provoke anybody.

    Perhaps if the article was actually investigating shady deals rather than just mercilessly tormenting someone for shits and giggles, I would have enjoyed it.
